There 1s accordingly only fixed endolosure or woll .'iremote from the rictional holding of the closure in posissopen endo of the tube. There is assembled tion','while it operates as a hinged meniin this outer tube, the anxi .l.ia1:` l container ber end ma swing to o full open or defihaving the side walls 7, 8, or l 'sposal ad- `nitely locke position. The device is one siin- 90 jacent the walls 1`, 2, and the .connecting ply rassserobled,l with no parts to cause walls 9, 10 within 'the walls" 3, 4. The trouble in getting 'out vof order, and has 4o walls 7, 8 have the receding portions 11, greet conveniences 1n use;

from the iulorum bearing points 12st the What is claimed and itis desired to secure open end of this inner tube. The wall "10 by Letters Patent is: 95 is short of extendin to tli'e rece por- 1. A rectangular container embodying an tions 11, to provide t e seat 14. The osure outer tubulanportion forming a terminal 15 for the o en end 13 disposed within the opening, en inner tubular portion sdm opening 6, lies the extensionslt 17 apcent the opening providingafulcrum spaced proximnting quadrant form, as si es or a from the container corners, and a closure 10o trough or spout, normally acting sto hold having extensions between seid walls, said the closure assembled by coacting between closure being tltable on the fulcrum in 6o the double wells 1, 7, and 2, 8. movement from closed to open position in- To facilitate filling assembly, the inner dependently of shifting the container contube me have its `end adjacent the closed tents as held by the inner Wells by closure end of t e outer tube 5, closed. Under such movement.

2. A container embodying an outer wall forming an opening, an inner well for the container providing a fulerum adjacent the opening,'end e -cosure for the opening 4roekeble onl the fulcrum in movement from closed to open position independently of shifting the container contents as held by the inner walls by closure movement, said closure having parallel extensions operable between said walls in closure movement co- -aoting with the fnlcrum vintermediate the length "of the extensions at the opening.

3. A. container provided with outer Walls havingan opening, a -pair of opposing inner walls providing a. vfulcrum bearing adjecent salido ening, and a, trough-shaped elosureroclga 1e intermediate of the-trough portion-extentl on4 the` bearing in movement from open' to closed positions, the sides lof said.-trongh Abeing operable between said walls as guidevveys for 'the' closure independently of shifting the container contents as held by the inner walls by closure movement.

4. A container provided with outer walls having an opening, o. pair of opposing inner Wells having a portion receding from the opening to form a seat, and a troughshaped closure tiltuble into szticl seat in movement from closed to open position, the sides of said trough being opera-blc between said wells as guideweys for the closure.

5. A tubular container having double side walls, a portion of the inner walls receding, and a. closure for the container end, said closure having a. pair of extensions entering between the double side walls at the recedingr portion, whereby the closure may be rocked into the receding portion to throw the porA tion of the closure remote therefrom ou'.;A Ward in opening the closure.
